Students need not have a background in architecture to be admitted—non-architects are encouraged to apply, as are those with an architecture or design background.
Please note: the MS in Architecture is not accredited and does not lead to licensure. (Students seeking professional licensure should pursue our accredited Master of Architecture degree).
